Hi, As I have come to see with the user profile section name [1], relying on translation key conventions as the only mechanism of specifying a label/hint/string is not a clean and productive solution at all.
This is why I suggest that we add a new metadata for class properties called 'hint' where we can enter either a static string or a call to the message tool with the key we wish to use. See [2] for more details. Thanks, Eduard ---------- [1] http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-7690 [2] http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-7783 On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 3:24 PM, Jerome Velociter <[email protected]>wrote: > On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 8:43 AM, Marius Dumitru Florea > <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 7:21 PM, Jerome Velociter <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Hello, > >> > >> Right now class property hints are not supported right in the core of > >> XWiki (though it's been mentioned as a possible future item of the > >> roadmap for AWM, see http://markmail.org/message/ltuphlj7bnnso2yb ). > >> Once this will be implemented, it will rely on i18n message keys so > >> that hints are localizables (same strategy as for class property > >> pretty names) > >> I'd like to start the discussion and see if we can agree on a > >> convention that would be used in the future when this module is > >> implemented. > >> The reason for this is I'm starting to work on a LDAP admin UI, and I > >> find that their field pretty names are not self-explanatory.
